14 Notes on connections Speaker placement CAUTION Do not connect the power cord to a wall outlet until all connections are completed. Front speaker Front speaker Connections When connecting the related system components, be sure to refer to the instruction manuals supplied with the components you are connecting. Be sure to remove the power cord from the AC outlet before plugging or unplugging any connection cords. Plugging/ unplugging connection cords without disconnecting the power cord can cause malfunctions and may damage the unit. Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections are imperfect, the sound and video may not be produced or there will be noise interference. If this unit is installed in the proximity of a source of magnetism such as a magnet, color irregularities due to interference with the speakers may be observed on the TV monitor screen. Be careful in the installation. Microcomputer malfunction If operation is not possible or an erroneous display appears, even though all connections have been made properly, reset the microcomputer by referring to <esetting the microcomputer>. ˆ CAUTION The power of this equipment will not be completely cut off from the wall outlet when the power switch is turned off. Install the equipment so that the wall outlet is easily accessible and, in case of emergency, immediately unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. CAUTION Be sure to adhere to the following, or proper ventilation will be blocked causing damage or fire hazard. Do not install the unit on the rear, side or top panel. Do not cover the unit with a cloth or install the unit on a carpet or mattress. Do not install the unit in a poorly ventilated place. This unit is using the cooling fan. Do not place the unit onto a bed, a sofa, a carpet, or similar. Sucked-in dust can cause fire. eave some space around the unit (from the largest outside dimension including projection) equal to or greater than, shown below. Side panel : 10 cm Back panel : 10 cm Front speakers Install in the front left and right positions. Symmetrical installation is ideal. The front speakers are always used regardless of the listen mode. Center speaker Install in the front center position. This speaker improves the acoustic image positioning and reproduction of sound movement. Surround speakers Install straight on or slightly behind the left and right of the listening position, at in an as high as possible height (ideally one meter above the height of the listener s ears). Symmetrical installation is ideal. The surround speakers reproduce the feeling of movement and presence of sound. Subwoofer Subwoofer Surround speaker Surround Back speaker (6.1ch) In general, install on the front center position near the front speakers. The subwoofer reproduces the powerful bass effects. As it is less directional to other speakers, it can be installed so that the bass can be reproduced best according to the listening room layout. Surround Back speakers Center speaker Surround Back speaker (7.1ch) istening position Surround speaker Install on the rear of the listening position, at the same height as the surround speakers. When only one surround back speaker is installed, the system becomes a 6.1-channel surround system. When two surround back speakers are installed, it becomes a 7.1-channel surround system. Ideal surround play is possible when all of the speakers above are installed. If the center speaker and/or the subwoofer is not installed, the system optimizes playback according to the current system by assigning the sound of absent channels to other speakers. 14 KF-V9300D/KF-V8300D/KF-V7300D

First enable the HDMI input as described in <HDMI input setup - "HDMI Input">. Flow of video signal The digital video signal input from the HDMI input terminal is output only at the HDMI monitor output terminal. KF-V9300D only : The video up-conversion function can output the video signal input from the VIDEO, S-VIDEO and COMPONENT VIDEO terminals at the HDMI output terminal. (See <Video up-conversion function> *.) Flow of audio signal The digital audio signal input from the HDMI input terminal is output at the speakers connected to this unit. It can also be output at the TV monitor connected to this unit according to the HDMI setup. (See <HDMI setup>.) An HDMI/DVI converter cable is necessary to connect a TV monitor with a DVI input terminal. The TV monitor also needs to be compatible with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection). Note that the video may be unable to be monitored depending on the combined components. Use an HDMI-certified category 2 cable (High Speed HDMI Cable) for the connection. When components are connected through the HDMI connection, it takes a certain period before the video/audio are output because they need mutual authentication. If the video and/or audio are not output normally, turn all of the connected components off then on, and try again. English 15

16 Connecting a TV Monitor 1 Connect the TV monitor by selecting one of the desired method from connections B, C, D and E shown on the right page. Connections For the video and audio connections of the connected component, see the description on the page for the connected components. KF-V9300D and KF-V8300D: This unit is capable of up-conversion of video signals. For KF-V9300D, when the TV monitor is connected to this unit through HDMI connection (connection B), any video signal input to this unit can be output at the HDMI monitor output terminal. For KF-V8300D, VIDEO and S-VIDEO signal can be converted to COMPONENT VIDEO signal (connection C). For details, see <Video up-conversion function> *. 2 To output the audio of the TV monitor from the speakers connected to this unit: Use connection A (digital) or F (analog). Use the digital connection (connection A) to enjoy digital surround broadcasting, etc. in a surround system environment. The HDMI video cannot be viewed unless the TV monitor is equipped with the HDMI terminal. 16 KF-V9300D/KF-V8300D/KF-V7300D

The video signal from a VC may be disturbed or non-displayable in certain cases. The picture quality of the converted video may be degraded (for examlple, the screen is flickered, the text is not displayed clearly, and etc.) In this case, output the video signal from the TV monitor output terminal for the same format as the video input terminal used. This unit is compatible with the PA and NTSC TV formats. KF-V9300D only: When the video signal input from the VIDEO, S-VIDEO or COMPONENT VIDEO terminal is converted and output at the HDMI output, the resolution of the video signal can be selected.
